Hydrogen Bond
What is a Hydrogen Bond? Explained in an easy to understand way:
What's Covered in the Video:
Imagine trying to keep two magnets close together on a table without them snapping together or drifting apart. This is similar to how a hydrogen bond works, where a hydrogen atom is attracted to another atom, like oxygen or nitrogen, but the bond is not strong enough to completely pull them together. Just as the magnetic pull keeps the magnets in close proximity without them fully sticking, a hydrogen bond keeps molecules close but not fully bonded, maintaining a delicate balance of attraction.
Practice Version
